Hi, I've recently started slowly learning how to create a map and I seem to have trouble with models.
I've read that models or skins( I think it's only skins, but the problem seems to be models :\ ) need to have a custom path or they would not work, and when you download it from say hiveworkshop they would include the path there. I downloaded some lich king model and tried it. It works. But when I try another model I got ( not from a website like hiveworkshop ) it turns out to be a cube and says it can't find the file. So maybe the problem is the path ? How do I find out what's the path intended for it ? I read that pros who work with models can tell it in an instant when they open it up. I got some screenshots of the thing.

http://i46.tinypic.com/bdk0pc.jpg < Here the thing for arthas, which works.
Why is it not working ? I just right now thought that maybe model is the physical shape and I need a skin too ? I'd have to look around more for that, cause the ninji model was in a folder "units" alone, without any .blp file. Also the map is located in /MAP/ and so is the ninji model, but I extracted arthas files to /MAP/Arthas
Map is the folder that includes subfolders for the map I'm working on.
If it's not working due to wrong path then how do I find out the correct one ? Also, I read some guide on a website that pops out as first on google for map making and he removes the War3imported thing in the beginning, but from a youtube video a guy didn't remove it, said it looks like a cube, saved map and reopened it. After opening it again the map had model working. This worked for arthas model.
Thank you.
Also note, that I seem to have registered here with such a nick a long time ago. Can't remember registering here but I guess I had some silly problems back then ^_^
